Rogers State University business
students this fall have an additional bachelor's degree to choose from now that
RSU has started offering a bachelor of science in business administration.

The degree, with an option in either
accounting or management, is designed to provide graduates with the knowledge to
apply the functions of business in the increasingly competitive global economy.

"The
university has experienced a consistently high demand – both from our students
and from business and industry leaders in northeast Oklahoma – for an expansion
of RSU's business programs by offering a four-year business administration
degree," said RSU President Dr. Joe Wiley.

RSU was granted formal approval in
April by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association to
begin offering the degree.

The business administration degree
requires a total of 124 credit hours. The program requires 45 credit hours in
general education courses coupled with 39 hours of core business courses.

The degree offers specializations in
either accounting or management, which would each requiring 21 hours within the
degree option. Students may select either a university-approved minor from
outside the business department or 19 hours of free electives, nine of which
must be upper-division courses.

In
addition to the bachelor's degree in business administration, RSU also offers
bachelor's degrees in applied technology; biology with an option in
environmental conservation or medical/molecular; business information technology
with an option in computer network administration or software
development/multimedia; liberal arts; and social science with an option in
